yWATER-"COOLEFL Specification of Letters Patent.

'Patented Aug. 7, 1906.

Application filed October, 1905. Serial No. 281.104.

T0 all whom, t may concern.-

Beit known that I, STANLEY S. MONTANYE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Bradford and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water-Coolers, of which the Jfollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a combined watercooler; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described, illustrated in the drawings, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

The objects of my invention are as follows: first, to provide a cooler which will receive the water, cool it, and keep it free from all contamination until it is used; second, to produce an apparatus which will be simple in construction, strong and durable, readily understood, and easily handled and managed.

'I accomplish these objects with the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, in which like letters of reference refer to similar parts.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my cooler, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. l

Referring to the drawings, A represents the source of water-supply, and B the cooler, which are so constructed, arranged, and combined together as to .form a combined and unitary structure.

The source of water-supply A is preferably cylindrical in form, as c, and has cup or basin s aped ends a and e2. The ends a and a2 are made cup or basin shape primarily, so that they may be adapted to hold a quantity of water, and, secondly, to adapt them to the cooler and make them reversible for purposes hereinafter mentioned. In the size of the source of water-supplyI preferably use these basins a and a2 may hold at one time- In the from ten to twelve gallons of water.

cylindrical body a I secure near its lower end` many convenient manner a perforated screen.

a3, and near the top of said cylinder I secure, by stops a4, a screen a5. The manner in which the screen ai is held in place is such as to dpermit of its being removed from the cyl- 1n er c by giving it a half-turn and lifting it out of the stops a4.

In the bottom of the cylinder a is an o ening in which is secured a short pi e c, W ich pipe 0,10 is connected to the pipe a and serves to convey the water from the source of water-supply A to the cooler Bin a manner hereinafter eX- plained.

The cooler B is preferably cylindrical in form and is arranged to receive and support the source of water-supply A, hereinbefore described, or any other suitable source of water-supply adapted to be used in connection therewith. This cooler consists of an outer case or shell B and an inner cylinder B2. These cylinders B and B2 are water-tight at their bottoms and throughout, except as hereinafter explained, for the pur ose of keeping the water from'the source o watersupply and the water from the melted ice from coming in direct contact.

, Between the cylinders B/ and B2 is a chamber b, and inside the walls of the cylinder B2 is a chamber b to hold the water from the source of water-supply, the ice-pan, and the block of ice. The cylinder B2 rests upon stops b3 b3 and is kept in vertical position by stops b4 b4.

The water from the source of water-supply A will pass into the cooler B through the pipes a and a and be collected in the chamber t. C is an ice block, and D is the pan to sustain it, resting on the brackets b2 b2. The chamber t is primarily open, containing only air; but in the ordinary use of the cooler B it becomesk partly filled with water from an ice block C passing through the pipes e and f and collecting in the subchamber b. As the water continues to collect in the chamber b it follows up the chamber b and is. discharged through the bent pipe g, thus cooling the chamber b and finally being discharged into any suitable vessel. The water may be discharged through the faucets I I as desired.

The block of ice C may be placed in the ypan D by removing the source of water-supply A.

I do not limit myself to any particular size or form of cooler, as I contemplate making them of different sizes and forms.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As an article of manufacture, a watercooler comprising means for communicating with a source of water-supply, inner and outer non-communicating water-chambers, means for supporting a block of ice in the inner chamber, pipes for conducting Water from In testimony whereof I affix my signature the source 01E-supply vto the inner chamber, in presence of two'subscribng Witnesses. separate pipes for conducting the Water from the ice block lto the outer chamber, and p STANLEY S' MONTANYE 5 means for drawing 0E the Water from 'said Witnesses:

chambers separately, substantially .as de- EDNA A. TEAGUE.
